[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1611881"] Yes, at Apple and yes, they work better than three year old ones. It's not so much the age as the number of charge/discharge cycles. If you keep them shallow, you get more years than if you let it deeply discharge and then have a larger recharge. For example, if you let it go to zero and then charge, that's ONE cycle. If you let it get to about 75% and then charge, that's about a quarter cycle. So keeping your phone plugged in when ever you can is a good idea, as it shallows out the cycles. But no matter what you do, after about two years the chemistry (for now) just begins to decay no matter how gently you treat it. [/QUOTE]
